I spoke with the son of the original owner. His father owned it up until 2008 when he passed. He told me that his mother wouldn’t let his father buy a muscle car. So his father ordered it not to look like a muscle car. He got the bench automatic because they had four kids. His son said they hardly ever got to ride in the car. I believe him because the interior looks like day one. Look on the order sheet and you can see he chose Blue interior then it got crossed out and chose gold. It would’ve looked good either way.

I don't want to side track his listing but I always thought the dual snorkel air cleaner was a early build thing, It appears to me now it was a late build item. Since both cars are from the Atlanta plant maybe assembly plant specific?

Very interesting (options) Survivor. This is a Blue Chip type of LS6. I inspected the car for a previous owner/buyer as well as helped resell it a few years later. Great Car!

he special ordered it.. How cool. 3.31 rear too. Looked him up. His son lives in Denver pa and is 60

I guess we know who won that dispute :wink:

i was under the impression its a later thing my may built ls6 has it its an arlington car

i like the gold but the blue for sure would have been killer! i recall seeing the car in a hotrod article very cool back story!

Doesn't get much better than this. I love the plain jane survivor/a$$ kicken aspect of this car.

Wow great car!

Just saw it on Ebay, very nice presentation, hope you don't mind me posting the link!
